Oak trees primarily rely on animals for seed dispersal. Squirrels, birds, and other wildlife eat the acorns and then scatter the seeds as they move around. This helps the oak tree offspring to establish in new areas.
Burdock uses animal dispersal method through burs that attach to the fur of animals or clothing, allowing them to be carried to new locations.
Plants use various seed dispersal mechanisms like wind, water, animals, and self-propulsion to spread their seeds away from the parent plant. This helps in reducing competition for resources and increasing the chances of successful germination and growth in new locations, ensuring the propagation of their species.
He estado haciendo una revisión del género Centrosoma, estas plantas son muy utilizadas como forraje y por lo tanto se han adaptado a cultivos. En cuanto a la dispersión de las plantas silvestres, considero que su dispersión puede ser autocoría, por las características de las semillas y del fruto.
Fruits are designed to protect the maturing seeds and help with the dispersal (spreading) of seeds after they have matured. If seeds were not spread over a large area, they would be stunted from the competition with each other. The type of fruit determines whether the seed are scattered by mechanical dispersal or by agent dispersal. Mechanical dispersal occurs when the ripened fruit bursts open and scatters the seeds some distance from the plant. Agent dispersal occurs or in this case birds and many other animals become dispersal agents by feeding on fleshy fruits like blueberries, raspberries, and black berries. Many of the seeds pass throguh an animals's digestive sistem unharmed or are dropped by the animal before being eaten; consequently, the seed may be sccattered far from the parent plant.
Examples of dispersal by explosion include the dispersal of seeds by plants like touch-me-not (Impatiens) and wood sorrel, as well as the dispersal of fungal spores by fungi like earthstars and puffballs. These organisms use built-up pressure to forcibly expel their seeds or spores to help them spread over a wider area.

it is done by animals
who would know we are not geeks are we hahaha

Yes, Venus Fly Traps do use seed dispersal to multiply.
Parachute seed dispersal is a type of seed dispersal where seeds have structures like wings, hairs, or fibers that allow them to be carried by the wind over long distances. These structures help the seeds to be dispersed away from the parent plant so they can germinate in new areas and reduce competition for resources. Examples of plants that use parachute seed dispersal include dandelions and maple trees.
Dispersed by birds- far too heavy to be dispersed by wind.
Different plants undergo different sorts of seed dispersal. The two forms of seed dispersal are known as autochory, or the use of simple gravity to spread the seeds, and allochory, the use of things like water, wind, or animals to spread the seeds farther.
By Wind because it has a wing-like structure
Thistle seeds use wind dispersal, with their small, feathery structures allowing them to be carried by the wind. Ash and maple seeds use a method called helicopter or autorotation dispersal, where their wing-like structures allow them to spin and glide through the air.

Blackberries typically use a method of seed dispersal known as endozoochory, which involves animals ingesting the fruit and then dispersing the seeds through their droppings. This process helps the seeds to be spread over larger distances and increases the chances of successful germination in new locations. Additionally, blackberries may also rely on other methods of seed dispersal such as adhesion to animals' fur or feathers for transportation.
